Young Ed Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I'll make a deal w/ ya...I'll drink your share of beer, and you can drink my share of vodka! agreed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-T-53 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 they have lots of beer, but I think the MN beers are better personally, not that I'm swayed for any reason.... I love Grain Belt Premium! Wish we could get it out here on the west coast... :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave72dt Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I personally have yet to taste a beer I could actually drink. Vodka is more my thing My personal opinion is that beer is an acquired taste, just like coffee or tea, or whiskey or rum or grapefruit juice for that matter. When I acquire it, I taste it. Some I prefer over others but I do like a variety. Depends on what I'm in a mood for. According to Google, one source says Arizona is tops in per capita consumption, but maybe in total gallons consumed in the state we win.

Merle Coggins Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I've always heard that WI has more bars per capita than anywhere else, but I don't know how true it is. I do know that there certainly are a lot of them 'round here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdad1951 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I love Grain Belt Premium! Wish we could get it out here on the west coast... :-( well have you tried the Grain Belt Nordeast? Like it even better than Premio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know that there certainly are a lot of them 'round here. sounds like you gotta go up north some more! we have land near a town of about 10,000, and there are roughly 1 1/2 dozen bars around! there is also a town of roughly 15, yes, 15, with 2 bars and nothing else!

Dave72dt Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Wow, I mentioned the salvage yard was near the cranberry bogs and somehow the topic got turned to beer and alcohol! Gotta love this forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drank plenty of Schmidt's too.(burp) new about last spring. Some people don't like it but I like it better than regular. Maybe we should figure out shipping?

Bradley S. Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I like that LaCrosse Lager. Isn't that brewery in LaCrosse the old Old Style plant? Where the silos are painted like a six pack? Oh, and about that salvage yard......... I forgot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merle Coggins Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Yup, when G. Heileman Brewery was bought out and the LaCrosse brewery was shut down some locals purchased it and reopened it as the City Brewery Company. I believe the grain silos are still there but they aren't painted like a 6-pack of Old Style anymore. Merle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for sure they brewing some Sam Adams. Also a small brewery in New Glarus, used to be one in Potosi, maybe still is. Several local wineries here too.

Merle Coggins Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 I like the New Glarus beers. Spotted Cow is one of my favorite beers. Although Fat Squirrel and Totally Naked are pretty good too. I mean... where else can you drink Total Naked in public? :D Merle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moparbenny Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Great thing about this forum is it one can learn something new daily. I always thought the bogs were all in New England. I did not know cranberries were also grown in Wisconsin. Where else are they grown? washington state out by westport,wa on the coast pass by an ocean spray plant to go there:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
